First Nations perspectives often centered around a deep spiritual connection to the land, viewing it as a communal resource to be respected and protected, rather than owned. In contrast, European perspectives typically emphasized land as a commodity to be owned, cultivated, and exploited for economic gain. These differing views led to significant misunderstandings and conflicts, particularly regarding land use and ownership. Ultimately, these contrasting worldviews shaped the relationships between First Nations and European settlers, influencing social, cultural, and political dynamics.

First Nations and Europeans primarily lived in different places during the early periods of contact, with Europeans often establishing settlements in designated areas while Indigenous peoples maintained their traditional territories. However, there were instances of coexistence and interaction, such as trade and intermarriage, particularly in regions where European settlers sought to establish relationships with Indigenous communities. Over time, these interactions led to significant cultural exchange, but also to conflicts and displacement of First Nations peoples.
European colonization led to the killing of First Nations peoples primarily due to land expansion, resource exploitation, and the desire to impose European cultural and religious values. Conflicts arose over land ownership and usage, resulting in violent confrontations. Additionally, introduced diseases decimated Indigenous populations, further facilitating European domination. These actions stemmed from a combination of greed, racism, and a belief in European superiority.
When First Nations peoples first encountered Europeans, they often referred to them by terms that described their appearance or behavior, such as "white men" or based on the specific nation or group, like "the French" or "the English." These names varied among different Indigenous groups and were influenced by their languages and cultural contexts. Over time, as interactions continued, additional terms and names emerged that reflected their experiences with European settlers and colonizers.
First Nations perspectives on exploration typically focus on the negative impacts, such as loss of lands and resources, cultural disruption, and colonization. European perspectives often highlight the benefits of exploration, such as economic gain, technological advancement, and spreading civilization. These differing viewpoints reflect the complex and often problematic history of colonial encounters between First Nations and European peoples.

First Nations perspectives on René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, often reflect a mix of respect for his exploration and criticism for the impacts of European colonization on their lands and cultures. Many Indigenous groups view him as a symbol of the encroachment of European powers, leading to loss of territory and autonomy. In contrast, European perspectives generally celebrate La Salle as an important explorer and contributor to the expansion of New France, emphasizing his role in mapping and claiming territories in North America. This divergence highlights the complex legacy of his expeditions and the differing values placed on exploration versus indigenous rights.
First Nations often viewed Champlain and other European explorers as potential allies or trading partners, but also as potential threats to their land and way of life. Champlain saw the First Nations as potential partners in trade and exploration, but also as obstacles to French colonization of the region. Over time, alliances and conflicts developed between the two groups.

First Nations' perspectives on Europeans varied widely among different tribes and regions. Initially, some viewed Europeans as potential allies or trade partners, appreciating the new goods and technologies they brought. However, as European colonization progressed, many Indigenous groups experienced encroachment on their lands, broken treaties, and violent conflicts, leading to deep mistrust and resentment towards Europeans. Overall, their views were shaped by both interactions and the consequences of European settlement.
First Nations people began interacting with European explorers after the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492. The interactions increased as more European expeditions reached the Americas in the following centuries.
